“I still feel it,” Luis Nuñez, 30, told The Post. “It gets worse, because when you work and sweat and it freezes onto your skin, you feel it more.”

To prepare for a long day’s work in treacherously chilly conditions at a construction site in Long Island City, Nuñez suited up with several layers — and even resorted to wearing plastic bags over his two pairs of socks to seal the cold air out.

His hands were covered with three sets of gloves, and he shielded his face from the elements with two masks.

But all those layers still didn’t spare him from the arctic chill that swept through the city.

“This is the coldest I’ve been in a long time,” he said, adding he couldn’t feel his nose.

Nuñez even said he felt too cold to eat when he ducked into a diner to thaw out on his lunch break.

“I want to go home, take a hot shower, sit in front of my heater with a hot cup of chocolate,” he said.

His fingers weren’t the only things seizing up in the record cold — his cellphone was freezing, too.

“My phone dies really fast, and I have to warm it up to get it to work,” he complained.

While Nuñez was out battling the elements, all he could think about was getting cozy indoors.

“It’s crazy,” he said. “It’s hard to get up in the morning. This weather puts me in a hibernating state where you just want to stay under the blanket and not move.”

But it’s either brave the cold — or forgo a paycheck.

“It’s extremely uncomfortable, but I have to do it to survive,” Nuñez said. “I have to work.”
